Major pro-inflammatory cytokine.
| Genotype | Impact | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| CC (Normal) | Normal | Lower IL-1beta production - a calmer baseline inflammatory tone. Maintain an anti-inflammatory diet (omega-3s, colourful produce). |
| CT (Carrier) | Low impact | Intermediate IL-1beta production - average inflammatory tendency. Favour omega-3s, olive oil and plenty of vegetables; limit ultra-processed foods. |
| TT (Variant) | Moderate | Higher IL-1beta production - greater tendency to inflammation. Prioritise anti-inflammatory foods (oily fish, turmeric, berries); limit sugar, refined carbs and processed meat. |
